The gray brocket (Mazama gouazoubira), also known as the brown brocket, is a species of brocket deer[2] from northern Argentina, Bolivia, southern Peru, eastern and southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. It formerly included the Amazonian brown brocket (M. nemorivaga)[3] and sometimes also the Yucatan brown brocket (Odocoileus pandora) as subspecies.[4] Unlike other species of brocket deer in its range, the gray brocket has a gray-brown fur without reddish tones.[5]
